Back to the original question - do you think it is him or another ruse by the parents (family)?
Oh, I don't know at all.
But, put it to you this way... If I were a parent, I would NEVER give up my own child. I know that sounds fucked up considering the circumstances, but I would no sooner bring harm upon my own child than on my own self. They are parents and they know that their son is obviously a monster of some sort, but still in a fucked up way, they created that monster. So now, they have to decide. Do they help authorities capture and likely kill their son or do they help their son find a way out of this mess?
Looking at it this way, I wouldn't be surprised if the parents continue to buy their son time in order for him to make it to Mexico or something. It's a fucked up situation, but I don't see many parents doing any less than what these people might be doing (with the ruse and all).
But in all honesty, I have no fucking clue, as I have not cared to follow this story given that there are much worse tragedies on hand to consider than this girl's unfortunate case.
